VoluntEARing Disney 2010 Marathon Weekend Day 3
So after a cold and VERY EARLY day on Saturday we were ready for a late shift (6am-2:30pm). It was FREEZING cold when we checked out of the hotel but at least it wasnt sleeting! Just horridly windy! We made it to Wide World of Sports and got checked in, got our Navy Blue Jackets and our lunch bags and headed out to the busses to head to Epcot. Today we were working the Goofy Medals tent. The Goofy medal is awarded to a racer who does both the Half and The Full Marathon during the marathon weekend! CRAZY PEOPLE!!!! That is a LOT of running!! 39.3 Miles to be exact!! CRAZY!!!
So we get on the nice warm bus and we sit.... and sit.... and sit.... and sit for OVER AN HOUR! At the Wide World Of Sports..... SITTING.....getting overheated in all our layers...It was not fun at all. We were on a bus with the Massage tent workers and they were ANNOYING AS HELL!! Oh Wow.. it was like being on a school field trip bus! They were so worried as to why we wernt going and I tried a few times to explain to them that we couldnt drive on the roads untill the racers wernt ON THEM any more but they didnt seem to understand that at all. They seemed to be happy just bitching in their baby blue windbreakers so I just sat there and listened to them, for an hour.....*sigh* next year we are TOTALLY taking the early shift! lol
Once we arrived we headed over to the Goofy Tent. All the medals were lined up on pegs to hand out... James and I decided to stand outside and cheer on the athleats as they came down from the race medals, Medical and water. We were right before the Snack tent, the picture area and the baggage. We were also giving out the Perfectly Goofy Medals which was for everyone who has run EVERY SINGLE Goofy Race in the time it has existed which is 5 yeas now! To me that is AMAZING! We had checked in some of the Perfect 17 racers the day before and Those are the people who have run every single race that WDW has ever done! And they were ALL in the 40's, 50's and some even in their 80's! Another reason to just love Disney!!!! They treat their loyal people SO well!
For the next few hours it was a sea of people! Clapping and cheering them! Congradulating them! Smiling and patting on the back! We chatted with other VoluntEARs and Medical staff that were with us. They told us that Disney was going to be doing a Dopey Challenge next year for the 5k, half and full! KILLER!!! Runners get my extreme props because I dont run... I dont jog and I dont like to do either! I will walk and walk and walk but.... no running!!!! So to do all three of those is amazingly awesome to me!
James and I were asked my a Team Leader to go help at the Finish line with medals for a little while and we were happy to go! Why not? So we treaked up to the finish line and got to actually hand out medals to people! It was SO much fun! Sure people were icky and sweaty and smelly and cold and snotty and some even smelled like Pee but.... lol... how many people can say that they got to put a Medal around the neck of a first time runner who just beat cancer??? I can !
I got lots of hugs and saw tons of costumes and heard funny stories and saw a LOT of criers and it was fantastic! I am so glad we got to go up there and participate that way! We also worked for the last 90 minutes at a security gate across from the medical tent. Letting people in to see thier loved ones who had to go to medical. That gave us a lot of time to people watch which was fun. Costumes and phone calls and just over all happiness!
Come 2:30pm the Marathon as a whole was over and it was time to head back to WWoS. We got checked out and hole punched and got tickets and another lunch ;) ! We were SO tired! Glad to be heading home but SO happy with the time we had!
Pictures will be in the next entry!

Review of Dangerous Boys and Their Toy by Shayla Black

Trading orgasms for information isn't their usual way of doing business, but when a missing criminal-turned-star-witness and fifty grand are on the line, bounty hunter R. A. Thorn and Detective Cameron Martinez are prepared to put their bodies to the task and give gorgeous Brenna Sheridan everything she needs.
An exchange they never anticipated becomes an experience none can forget -- or walk away from. Sexual hunger sizzles the threesome, but the stakes and danger rise as a mafia bad-ass stalks Brenna.
Soon, their "deal" is no longer about information -- or sex. Emotions bind Brenna, Cam and Thorn together more tightly than they ever imagined as the men protect -- and serve -- the beloved woman neither can live without.

I LOVED this book!!! Oh wow.... it was HOT and Heavy and Well worth the read! It revolved around a threesome so if that this your thing then this is a skip for you! I enjoyed watching thier story unfold and cared about the characters. The visuals were colorful and indepth!

I give this Book 5 out of 5 Nautical DooDads!!!! Because it was HOT and I couldn't put it down!!!!!
A Little About Me
- I was raised in a VERY small town in New Hampshire that had a ski resort in it. I skied for Gym class a few times a week all through elementary school to middle school. I miss it but not enough to go back any time soon! I havent seen snow in 8ish years!
- I was raised by my Maternal Grandmother and Aunt for 21 years. I dont talk to them any more and have no desire to. They raised me to be a very strong, independent and well spoken lady but when I started to do things without asking them first they turned their backs on me! I am a better person for this and wouldnt change that for anything!
- I hate Snow and Cold. It was never a place for me. I never felt comfortable up North. I was always so happy when I vacationed in Florida or California. It was a natural choice when I packed my littel 2 door hatch back pink Hyundai named Belle that I was heading to Florida for good!
- My Mother is my best friend! She makes me nuts on the regular but without her I would be a hotter mess then I already am! I get my love of music and artsyfartsy stuff from her. My Stubborness and my Voice from her. i love her moore then words can state
- When my mom visits my most favorite thing is to sit with her and let her play with my hair. It makes me feel like a little girl again and since she loves my hair so much she has no problems with it.
- My Hair is my lot in life. Me and Anne Of Green Gables as SUCH kindrid spirits on that one! I hate it. I am a girl of mixed race with the worst hair of all time! It is frizzy and thick and curly and un manageable unless I put 15 lbs of product in it! I go thru a can of Herbal Essence Curl Mousse in 2 weeks normally! And if it wasnt for Aussie Sprunch Spray I would die!!!
- When I first moved to Florida in 2000 I was a chat room chatter! I have NO shame because in the long round about way it brought me to James. I would chat on Yahoo Chat in the Florida room. I went to "Chat Parties" and met people. I am proud that I did! I met friends that I still to this day still talk to! People that I will always consider my friends!
If anyone has any questions for me I would love to answer them :) I am a pretty open person... dont hold a lot back so please ask away :)!!!
